And if I say this soundtrack unironically slaps? What then?

I spoke with John Lithgow and Geoffrey Rush for Dread Central’s digital cover story and used ‘What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?’ for its design reference. I’ve been having so much fun with these: tinyurl.com/336udwah

THE RULE OF JENNY PEN is ‘Whatever Happened to Baby Jane’ by way of ‘Grumpy Old Men’ and it’s just as frightening and funny as you’d expect from those two touchstones. It gets an easy four stars from me. The film is out next month via @shudder.com and @ifcfilms.bsky.social 👶🏻

Terrifier 3 fans are the Swifties of horror: ubiquitous, terminally online, bad taste

I can’t believe it’s been 21 years and we still don’t know what happened to them. It’s so important not to underestimate nature, and to always be prepared while hiking or camping. 💕

This was my first year as a professional music critic, and I’m psyched to cap it off by contributing to the iconic @exclaimdotca.bsky.social 50 Best Albums of the Year list. For it, I had the chance to highlight Magdalena Bay’s Imaginal Disk, which landed at #15. The full piece: tinyurl.com/bdhjf3kn

I’m looking for horror audiobook recommendations! The weirder and scarier the better. Here are some recent listens I’ve enjoyed. Any suggestions?

FREELANCERS I have a question: Is it normal for a major outlet to reduce pay on my articles if I invoice them late? The contract indicates a 30-day post-pub due date but does not clarify payment reduction as a punishment.

For decades, Guillermo del Toro has been trying to produce an adaptation of H.P. Lovecraft's AT THE MOUNTAINS OF MADNESS. Unknowable evils, cities of unnatural dread, and creatures so nasty they drive you insane... This one's got it all. Listen here: tinyurl.com/4m3p4y7r

Don’t ask, but I just watched the 2011 Terrifier short film on Tubi. On a technical level, it’s worse than you’re imagining. But if you squint just a little, there’s a vision here—an uncanny, weird little vision that’s more nightmarish and alive than most big-budget horror movies.

Naomi Scott delivers a gravity-defying performance in Smile 2. The only thing standing between her and an Oscar nomination is genre bias.

Throwback to when I got to chat with the legendary Linnea Quigley

Hypnotoad

He may be known for playing big, strong characters (Victor Crowley, Jason Voorhees), but Kane Hodder's a regular person, just like us, and can get scared at times. In their interview, he tells @joshkorngut.bsky.social about the film that scared him the most when he was a child, among other things.
